CDC’s canceled climate change conference is back on — thanks to Al Gore
The Washington Post ^ | January 26, 2017 | Brady Dennis

It turns out there will be a conference in Atlanta next month about climate change and its effects on public health. It just won’t have the federal government behind it.

The reason? Former vice president Al Gore.

“He called me and we talked about it and we said, ‘There’s still a void and still a need.’ We said, ‘Let’s make this thing happen,’ ” said Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association. “It was a no-brainer.”

If a SINGLE CDC fed employee is given administrative leave (paid time off) to attend this or goes while on duty, heads should definitely roll.

Patriotic federal employees, there are whistles that can be blown if you see or hear anything!

CDC employees better not get paid to go to this thing.

Any well-intentioned person is all in favor of a
reasonably clean environment - sensibly accomplished.
However, back in the last century, the 1960’s or 1970’s I
think, there was a big deal made about how the next ICE AGE
was on its way. By now, it was supposed to be well under
way with us now fighting off prehistoric mammoths and
polar bears in our cities. - IF Algore were serious, he
would quit leaving a giant footprint all over the world.
His jet leaves a major footprint & HE doesn’t skimp on
comforts in his mansion here in Tennessee. - We have
several trees felled by lightning out here every year.
Fang cuts them into firewood for our wood burning stove,
which we use when it gets real cold here. We do really
conserve. Unlike Gore who just runs his piehole about it.

The fat man isn’t going to let this cash cow die. It’s the only one he’s got.

The thought crossed my mind. Had to reject it.

Now, any limo involved...if there's no ice-storm let him be car- limo-jacked, robbed of valuables, including his shoes, and left barefoot in some back alley.

No phones, no lights, no motorcars, not a single luxury...

These conferences used to be politically ominous affairs. Now it is just a cocktail party with small talk and a second rate piano player.

Do the USA taxpayers have to pay for any so-called government “workers” to attend this circle-jerk on gloBULL warming?

It ain’t the CDC - more fake news from the rotting Compost.

Somehow “Gore” and “no-brainer” mesh really well together in the same sentence.
